We were under the impression that
We lived under IL Democratic govern
ment, and that tile rights Of the majority
OF the people were usually consulted in
governmental matters. We, however
have been almost forced to the c%onclu-
sion that we are deludcd in this matter.
and that aristocrntic and autucratic doc
trines prevail. Men in otlicc-we refer
especially to Abbevillc cuunty-only
consult their own Wills and those Of u
few leaders, and like Vanderbilt. say,
by their actions, "thc public be damned "
Delegations ignore petitions and appoint
TO Office whom they please. and when po-
iitcly asked to give an account Of their
stewardship. treat with contemptuous
silence, the i'upertincnt inquisitor. Our
school Commissioners diSregards cleo
tons. and appoints mel AS trustees who
are actually opposed to the wishes Of
the majority Of the voters of a township,
what, then. are we coming to? II these
men arc to he kept continually in office
AS some of them seem 10 think, we arc
afraid to predict the results Of the future.
we nave one safeguard left us, however,
and by the use Of tho ballot we NAV in
the future assert our manhood. Abba-
vile county is not composed of the men
we think She is, if they quietly submit
to these lnd'gnitics. and continually cicc,

"A CONFEDERATE MONUMENT.

Abbevil:e county has always been
1t has been the characteristic alike of
her brave mon and beautiful women.
In times Of war she readily gave up her
best citizens, to maintain, in .lradlv strife
the honor Of the State. These we've
encouraged at homo and chrerrd abroad
by the loving lahors and sacrifices of her
noble women. Oar county furnished
in the late war rs brave and as patriotic
soldiers as ever Shouldcrpd u musket or
buckled on n sword. Is it not strange,
then. that 10 steps should have been
taken to commemorate the services and
valiant deeds OF those OF Abbeville
countv's sons who gave up their lives
aud their fortunes Cor the sake Of their
country? Are we too poor to afford this
memorial to such men? Other counties
have done it long since, and surely we
are no poorer thar they. 1t is not our
poverty which keeps us from it. Neither
is 1t our lack of appreciation Of the SER
vices these men have rendered nor of
the SACRIFICES they have made. What
then is it? 1t is the want Of concert of
action,-it is the want Of Il leader in the
matter. Our women, God bless them,
are exactly suited for this purpose, and
we know that never yet have they un
dertakcn a thing and left it half done.
Scve yet have they been lacking in
patriotic devotion to their country. and
never will they be found destitute Of
that feeling.
Won't the women, then, Of Abbcviile
county, take the matter in hand, and
tnke steps at once to show to the world
that We believe our heroes fought, bled,
and died for what W. and they thought
was right? 1t ma: take Il few years to
accomplish it. but VIC know it will be u
labor Of love for them. Not only are
the columns Of the MESSENGER open to
them tor this purpose, but We will also
place our job department at their dis
posal, and print anything in the way of
circulars, addresses, nc, free of charge.
Let us hen take the matter in hand. and
with Il hearts in it we will be bound
to succeed.

Sometimes coming events do "cast therr
shao""s before We have just Seen Il cir
cu.ar which we presume will appcar in TIM
weeks Press Gnd Bumner. 1t is an urgent
appeal to the voters of Greenwood TOWNSHIP
in behalf of the Chester, Greenwood md
Abbeville Railroad.
The heading of the article is quite per-
emPtory-.Down with the Dust" Nnw as
the dust don't always down at ones bid
dlng, We desire to explain III u few words
Something Of the peculiarities of the dust in
a certain portion OF Greenwood TOWNSHIP, T..
The oaIuaa side of 1t has had very little l..
DO with kicking up this dust. And inasmuch
as the present location OF The PROPOSED road.
seems to have been made with The EXPRESS
view OF excluding this portion of the town
ship from its benefits, We do not propose to
to be blinded by it.
We are not opposed to aiding the construc-
ton OF roads, that in turn will aid us in
building up our section. We are not how
ever willing, To- subject our property To taxa
ton for the privilege of beng tributary to
the town of Greenwood, aud Of inHictinr an
injury npon our railr,ad facilities in our i'm
mediate vicinity.
We are not blind to the fact, that the geo.
graphical positions of Coronaca and Stony
Point fall within the inc OF the most direct
and practical route from Abbeville to Clinton
even via Greenwood. Then why avoid us {?
Is Greenwood ap~prehensive of the results of
concentration at either of the points named ?
If not, then locate the road properly. In that
alone, more than twenty thousand dollars
would have been saved, in addition to the
eighteen thousand which would be voted
with cheerful accord.
We will not assail the brilliant and hopeful
gcneralities indulged in by the author of the
circular, for whilst we know that there ia
another and a sombre sided view of the mat
ter, We prefer to synnpathize in the more
cheerful aspect. 1t is more pleasant, even
should it rove "but II dream ut best" and
even it the "shoe-strins did not draw a tam
yard"
Whilst some enjoy the hope of getting TO
the Millennium by rail, we are perfectly CON
tent to wait for it to come afoot. SALUDA.

ceived last week the day after we published.

| years it would reach the planet Neptune, ihe
orbit of which forms the extreme known
limit OF the planetary system; The same
Train, however, would notreach the star Alpha
Centauri in less than Az, 600, 900 years.
One more illustration may be useful. Comets
IN general revolve in very eccentric orbits.
When Q comet is in the .perihelion OF its
orbit it is comparatively near to the
earthsSpn the other hand, when it is at the
aphel1on it is relnote-in many instances
very remote from the earth. For instance,
the celebrated comet of 1858, known as Do.
nah's comet, one, Of the. greatest comets OF
modern times, at the time of its passage OF
the perlhelion was distant from the sun 50,-
900, 900 miles, but when it has attained the
about 1000 years hereafter its distance
from the earth will notbe less than 80, 0O0,-
900, 900 miles. Now our typical railway
train, starting from the earth, would not
comet in less than so, 900 years, and yet the
aphelion distance of Donati's comet is only
one-seyen-hundredth part of the distance
from the earth to Alpha Centauri, the near
est of the fixed stars.
'The first lady who has ever attended the
sessions of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, - says the Philadelphia Record, ZAP
peared there last week. She is the daughter
of George Rice, who has made such q brave
fight for life against the whole power of the
Standard Oil Company. She sits every day
by her fathers side facing the fifty lawyers
GGlore rather than less whom the railroads
summoned by hlce before the COMMISSION TO
answer to his charge of discrimination in
favor of the Standard Oil Company nave sent
here to represent them. Miss Rice knows as
much about her fathers case as he does.
She takes charge of part of the papeny,
Watches all the proceedings. and from tttne
to time makes suggestions to her fathers
counsel, John Randolph Tucker, Judge
LOOMS and Mr.. Follett, of Cincinnati. Her
suggestions are always Ealuable-the lawyers
act upon them at once, and with adj
vantage. She never seems to tire through
all the tedious argument and 1Bestimony
which wearies even the members Of the COM
mission. She is q heroine who fights in this
legal warfare as brayely and zealously as
though it wns raining ahot and shell. From
the lime the commission meets until the
time it adiourns she is the most interested,
as she certainly is the most interesting, per-
son in the big room. Yet withal she is as
modest and as winsome as any girl in a draw
ing-room. Her father is d six-footer, with
clean-shayen faee, scanty blonde hair and
very keen prominent eyes. He looks like the
gallant fighter that he is. He has q yeyy
hopeful look these days, for the end of his
long fight seems near. There appears to be
good reason to believe that tho commission
viii decide in his favor. Such q decision
would compel the railroads to give him the
equal and fair treatment from which the
